Commodities Bull Market Survey / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Zeal_LLC

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLast autumn’s stock panic fueled a particularly hard selloff in the commodities sector.  And many folks were quick to proclaim the end of the 21st-century commodities bull.  Indeed nearly all commodities prices were hammered, with some experiencing precipitous declines that were unseen since the Great Depression.

But even at the depths of despair, the secular nature of the commodities bull remained intact.  Late in October, just prior to the panic lows, I wrote an essay that surveyed the commodities sector and supported my conviction that the commodities bull was not over.

Bullish Commodities Stocks / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Zeal_LLC

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleOut of their dismal lows in early March, the stock markets rocketed 27% higher in a single month!  After such fast gains, Wall Street remained skeptical.  Was this a typical bear rally that would soon collapse?  But as the last couple weeks have shown, it didn’t.  Stocks not only held their rally gains, but they continued moving higher.

Coming Inflation Good for Commodities / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Frank_Holmes

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleBy Evan Smith and Brian Hicks - Higher inflation is coming. It’s impossible to predict exactly when it will arrive, but the trillions of dollars worth of new money injected into the global financial system make it inevitable.

Commodities Markets Have Bottomed / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Prieur_du_Plessis

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleCommodity prices have started to recover since the massive commodity fund liquidations and inventory reductions at mine, refinery and final consumption levels, which in some instances gave rise to record stock levels of industrial metals on the London Metals Exchange.

The recovery in metal and oil prices should be seen in context, though. The sharp drop in prices rendered a significant quantity of global production uneconomical, resulting in substantial cutbacks in production already seen and planned for the next two to three months.

Commodity Market Forecasts for Copper, Gold and Oil / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Q1_Publishing

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleNobel Laureate Neils Bohr once quipped, “ Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future.” In a world filled with different predictions from dozens of news outlets and hundreds of commentators, Bohr has been proven pretty much spot on in his assessment of predictions.

That's not to say predictions are useless. They are not useless. Predictions (or most of them, at least) are based on a fundamental picture including many variables. In the financial world, they often incorporate economic growth, unemployment, supply and demand, governmental policy changes and a host of other factors.

Impressive Relative Strength for Commodity Index DBC ETF / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Mike_Paulenoff

The PowerShares DB Commodity Index ETF (AMEX: DBC) is exhibiting impressive relative strength this morning after two powerful up-days. Let’s notice so far this morning that the price range fits inside of yesterday’s high at 21.03, which if hurdled should trigger upside acceleration to 21.40/60 next. If such a move unfolds, the DBC will be on its way to a 20% upmove so far this month of March – in the aftermath of its 60+% decline since July 2009. My intermediate-term work points to a target zone of 24.80-25.30 prior to the conclusion of this leg of a multi-month recovery period.

Profit from the Commodities Bull Market During 2009 / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleMartin Hutchinson writes: Between September 2007 and June 2008, oil prices doubled, gold rose 30% and commodities, in general, advanced by a similar percentage. So why, six months later, when prices have fallen back below last year's levels, does everybody think they won't rise again? The difficulties of extraction haven't gone away, nor have the prospects of increasing consumption in the faster-growing emerging markets such as China. Yes, the prices of commodities are severely affected by marginal moves in supply and demand, but this is ridiculous!

Commodities Bull Market? / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Zeal_LLC

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe face of today's mainstream financial media has gone from meaningful analysis and commentary to constant tub-thumping between undisciplined Main Streeters, overambitious Wall Streeters, and ignorant bureaucrats. It has turned into a showcase of the blame game, everyone looking for a scapegoat to shoulder the iniquities of the masses.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe connection with commodity prices and the movement of the U.S. dollar continues to remain tight and over-ride year-over-year fundamentals. Oil and gold are particularly linked to the currency and weakness or strength in the dollar are quickly transferred to positive or negative trading patterns for these natural resources.

Stocks and Commodities Collapse Due to Threat of Deflation / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Clive_Maund

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe reason why commodities and stocks have been collapsing is liquidity problems and the consequent threat of deflation, and the collapse has been made far worse as a result of the extreme leveraging that had earlier been employed in the markets, which has resulted in a destructive vicious circle as each downleg triggered a fresh wave of selling as stops and margin calls kicked in.

Commodities Super Cycle Corrections / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Zeal_LLC

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleOvershadowed by the pathetic drama gushing forth from the ailing financial stocks these days, other markets have slipped out of the limelight. In particular commodities, a market-darling sector not too many months ago, have been all but forgotten. This lack of attention is masking great opportunities.

In commodities' case, it is not only the newfound center-of-the-universe status of financial stocks that has shifted investors' focus away. Starting in early July, commodities entered a steep correction. Wall Street, perpetually hating commodities because they compete with the stock markets for capital, gleefully pounced on this event and brazenly declared that commodities were dead. Commodities sentiment turned negative.

Cooling Global Economy Ensures Commodity Correction to Continue / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Donald_W_Dony

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe recent rise of the U.S. dollar has triggered the peak in the commodity market and likely halted any further advances for this index during the 2006-2010 market cycle. As energy and precious metals are normally the last sectors to crest during a market cycle, their current weakness signals the start of a broader correction.

Commodities Bull Market Over? / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Salman_Khan

Recent days have seen an intense debate on the hot topic of the year — commodity prices. We have seen commodities across the board tumble in the past few months. Pessimists have started writing obituaries for the commodity bull and pronounced an end to the ascent in commodity prices. The scale of the rout can be seen in the Reuters-Jefferies CRB index, a basket of 19 commodities, which has fallen below 400 points to its lowest level since early April, a drop of about 14 percent since a record peak above 473 in early July.
